Edit Reason: Music theory is tedious and I screw it up. All edits due to that.
 
Perhaps I really didn't take it seriously and was unnecessarily catty, but there is a lot I didn't realize about music notes hidden in The Last Supper.
Apparently, it's in the hands and loaves of bread, and it corresponds to a melody starting on E. There's no notation for sharp and flat, unless that's depicted elsewhere. And it is said to be in C Major or A minor, and have an E root note. Which could be, but...
This also omits the 4th, as there is no depiction of an A note. Which makes me think people are forcing this into a natural Major/Minor.
You can go all day trying to work the 6 pitches allegedly depicted in The Last Supper into a 7 note scale. There are a few that skip over the A pitch, which, when starting in E sometimes requires an Augmented 4th. Like E - F - G - Bb, E - F#, G - Bb, or E - F - G# - B for example. I feel like it purposely deprives us the A to designate dissonance.
The notes they give you are; E - F - G - B - C - D - E.
Strangely, It appears the music in The Last Supper incorporates the aforementioned Diabolus en musica. Seems to have both an augmented fourth and tritone possibly depicted. I think they are missing a more harmonic scale in any case.
Meh, who knows, people could just be plotting hands and loaves of bread. And I suck at music theory.
